The Jaguars improve to 6-2 overall with the win over the fellow sub-section rival Brandon-Evansville Chargers this afternoon.
After a hot start in the first half where they opened up a 19-5 lead in the first nine minutes, Jaguars cooled down and let the Chargers make a run to close a big deficit to five points, 28-23 at the break.
The Jaguars had a couple big runs in the second half to blow the game open, leading 56-34 with under nine minutes left in the game.
The Chargers fall to 1-9 overall with the loss.
Interesting fact: Two Central Minnesota Conference teams who won or shared a string of conference titles from 2003 through 2008, Rockford and Pierz, are a combined 3-16 to start this season. The 0-9 record of Pierz is very deceiving, though, as they've played a brutal schedule against very good Class AA and AAA competition.
The Jaguars Danceline performed at the 14th annual Alexandria Cardinal Invitational this afternoon.
They defeated three teams in the Class A Jazz Funk division, totaling 13 teams. They placed 10th, ahead of Bagley, Barnesville, and Crookston.
